• Ask a Question
    • What is the question that you are being asked?
      • Who killed Lynn?
  • Do Background Research
    • Name at least 10 things that you know about the background of the victim:
      • 1: She has a brother.
      • 2: Blue eyes.
      • 3: Blonde hair.
      • 4: She was found with a stab wound in her chest.
      • 5: She moved back to her hometown, because of a nasty divorce from her husband Keith.
      • 6: Her parents gave her the position of V.P. of their shirt manufacturing company.
      • 7: She has a pet rabbit named Thumper.
      • 8: Age 34.
      • 9: Her brother was furious with Lynn because he got the position of V.P before him.
      • 10: Female
  • Construct a Hypothesis
    • At this point, who do you think killed the victim:
      • Ken Petrezulli
    • Why?
      • Because he has always been in love with her, and when she came back she still probably wanted nothing to do with him.
